Mabel Madison Boys Blog Tour



Welcome to my stop on the Mabel Madison's Boy Blog Tour--Duds for Dudes! 
My boys don't get nearly as much as my girls. It's often more fun to sew for the girls as the fabric is pretty, the dresses are pretty, and they just look so pretty when they dance around in their new dresses. 
But, boys need clothes too, and how much more fun is it to sew boy's clothes when the fabric is cool!


I was super excited to try out some Birch Organics knit from Mabel Madison.
I had heard great things about them and I'm not disappointed with the Murre Grey (looks like it's all sold out) that I received--it definitely fits into the cool category. 
(Yes, I received the fabric for free, but all opinions are my own.) 


I chose to make a polo shirt from the Jalie 3137 pattern
It'll be perfect as a Sunday shirt for summer, along with some navy linen pants I plan to make yet.


This fabric is so soft and cozy in the inside, and yet, because it's a cotton it's breathable.
Plus, the print is gorgeous--I didn't want to cut into it.
I used some snaps instead of buttons as I did not want to mess up the lovely placket, and my son voted for snaps as well.  


Unfortunately for my son, the snow is all melted, so he couldn't pose in something that resembled the penguins natural habitat. 


Make sure to stop by all the other amazing stops on the tour! 


Mabel Madison is really thrilled to host a week-long blog tour focused on sewing for BOYS! Every day this week, you'll have a chance to visit with a few of our friends and see what they have made for their boys. Here are today's stops:
